I am playing my first game of Burning Wheel RIGHT NOW.

It seems to me that we are stampeding past the saturation point for d20 products.

It's fire. On a stick. Do we really need eight pages on its history, construction, the types of wood used, and special rules for improvised (and masterwork) versions? What are the chances that this is actually going to improve anyone's game?

So RPGnow (my former go-to spot for PDFs) has merged with DriveThruRPG. In so doing, they have somehow managed to chase away both Ronin Arts and Expeditious Retreat Press (and possibly others).

On the other hand, I see that Louis Porter/Devil's Workshop (formerly kicked off of RPGnow) is back, bringing with him quality products like d20 ( Read more... )

In the interest of getting something on here more often that I have been lately, I'm going to try to review the past week in gaming every Monday - because, frankly, that's where I know most of you from, and why you know me.

Our replacement player was undeniably skilled in D&D, but…how shall we say…lacking in certain other areas. (I sort of wonder if our DM's "random" roll to ( Read more... )

My entire Wednesday night game signed up except for John (who'll be out of town).

One of the GMs flaked, and I actually have an RPGA card, so it looks like I'll be filling in behind the screen. (this is getting familiar)

Anyone else participating?

So I've been updating a lot less frequently, which may be related to the fact that many of my former posts on this LJ were made during working hours. I haven't actually tested the proxies at Large Financial Institution, but I'm just guessing that Livejournal isn't on the OK list. (News of the Weird is, though.) Even if it was, I don't have the ( Read more... )
